X-ray guided pain Interventions

C-arm fluoroscope-guided pain intervention involves using specialized imaging technology to guide various medical procedures aimed at managing pain. Here are the key points:

  1. C-Arm Fluoroscopy:

    • A C-arm is a mobile X-ray machine with a C-shaped arm that can be positioned around the patient.

    • Fluoroscopy provides real-time X-ray images during procedures, allowing visualization of internal structures.

  2. Applications:

    • Pain Management Procedures:

      • Nerve Blocks: Precise needle placement near nerves to alleviate pain.

      • Epidural Steroid Injections: Used for spinal pain management.

      • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Heat-based treatment for nerve-related pain.

      • Joint Injections: Deliver medication directly into joints (e.g., knee, shoulder).

  3. Advantages:

    • Accuracy: Real-time imaging ensures precise needle positioning.

    • Minimally Invasive: Procedures are performed with minimal trauma.

    • Safety: Reduced risk of complications.

  4. Considerations:

    • Operator Skill: Proper training is essential for effective use.

    • Radiation Exposure: Safety measures are crucial for patients and medical personnel.

In summary, C-arm fluoroscopy-guided pain interventions enhance accuracy and safety, improving pain management outcomes. Consult Dr Chinmoy Roy at Rajarhat Pain Clinic, Kolkata, who is an expert of C-arm guided pain Intervention.
